Our Community of Contributors

We thank everyone who supported Georgia Humanities over the past year. It is through the generosity of our community that we are able to impact each of the 159 counties in Georgia, and beyond. We are moving forward together.

List reflects gifts made from November 1, 2019, through October 31, 2020.

“Supporting Georgia Humanities means ensuring that our state’s history and our culture is remembered. In particular, the online New Georgia Encyclopedia can enrich future generations. It is a state treasure.”
— Elliott Brack, Georgia Humanities donor, Norcross

Telling Georgia’s stories helps us understand our lives and environments in a powerful way. The New Georgia Encyclopedia helps tell Georgia’s stories in an authoritative way – important for learners of all ages. That is why I will continue to support Georgia Humanities.”
